Make sure to buy a fishing rod that is very comfortable for you. If you are not comfortable holding the rod and maneuvering with it, then it is not likely you will be successful catching any fish with it. It is a general rule of thumb for the height of your rod to be similar to your height. The weight is a personal preference.

When you are deep sea fishing, watch for signs of fish nearby. Maybe you see wood or debris. Many times fish will be in the area of debris. Another great clue is gulls feeding on smaller fish, which tends to indicate large fish also nearby.

Be mindful of your bait’s color versus the water’s color. You want something that will clash so the fish down there will see your bait. When the water is murky, make sure you use visible colors. By contrast, use darker colors in clear water, as this prevents the bait from blending in with the underwater environment.
